Wellcome back, Gurgen. Love your new shoes.

 

sweetness! good luck with it and hope to see some awesome numbers off the dyno!

 

SWEET. Well done. what are those rims called?

 

I think its called Enkei RP03.

 

damn............ u beat me to it, I have been wanting these rims for so long

Just as I thought, RP03 definitely looks nice on the sedan
Now if I can only get my set after waiting for the 18s to stock

 

Gurgen, man I am so happy for you! Let us know the dyno numbers and such when you get to that point.

Hey Guys

Thanks for all the comments

These are Enkei RP03 19x 9.5/8.5 rear/front. +42 offset all around. This is NOT the ideal setup. The front is ok, but I will still be dropping in a 2-3mm spacer (so the ideal offset in the 8.5 is probably +38 or so). The rear WILL rub if I have enough people in it. So I will be setting the amber much more aggressively and shaving the fender lips to make them fit.

dyno numbers will not come until 2-3 weeks from now when i am comfortable flooring the car

 

CONGRATULATIONS.

You probably couldn't have rceived beter Christmas present.

 

congrad Gurgen..good to see your car back in action.

 

Congrats on getting her back gurgen! Looks great! Must have seemed like an eternity!

 

Wow randy, I've never seen you so happy. Careful you dont fall out of your chair!!

 

congrats!!!!! hopefully you'll be putting around the JGTC track with us friday!

 

Easy killer. If you add too much negative camber on a RWD vehicle with THAT MUCH RWHP you are asking for major traction problems. You would ideally like almost ZERO camber in the rear to increase your contact patch and get as much traction as possible, (at least you'd want to stay within stock specs). Also, if/when you shave your rear fenders make sure to notice the spot welds on the lip and AVOID SHAVING INTO THEM!!! You have 2 pannels under there that are "glued" together and they are also spot welded together. If you cut into the welds you're asking for separation problems down the road.

My advice is to sell the rims you have now and buy a set with the correct offsets. Shaving the fenders isn't really that bad, but if you're still going to rub, adding too much negative camber may not be YOUR best option...

Neff...

I know what you mean.... It's just that these were the only suitable wheels that I truly wanted and could get for the right price... I'll see if this is at all salvageable. I really do not know what my camber is right now. At least the car will handle a little better with more negative camber. Who knows... Also, I think having different tires will likely do away with rubbing issues. These tires are really exacerbating the problem. We'll see....
